AI-Generated 'Wedding' Images of Shubman Gill and Sara Tendulkar Viral as Real

AI-detection tools such as Hive Moderation and Sightengine declared this image as created using AI.

A viral post allegedly showing wedding images of cricketer Shubman Gill and veteran cricketer Sachin Tendulkar's daughter, Sara Tendulkar, is being shared on social media platforms.

Those sharing the image further said that cricketer Virat Kohli and actor Anushka Sharma had attended the event.

(Archives of similar claims can be found here and here.)

Is the claim true?: No, the claim is false as the images were generated using artificial intelligence (AI).

What we found: At first, we noticed some discrepancies in the image. The blurred background and the smooth texture of faces hinted that the image could be generated using AI.

• We, then, ran the images on AI-detection websites such as 'Hive Moderation' and 'Sight Engine'. Both tools noted that the image contained 99% AI-content.

• We did not find any such update on the official social media handles of Gill or Tendulkar.

Conclusion: A set of AI-generated images of Shubman Gill and Sara Tendulkar have gone viral as real.
